    Default Action Packers

    I need a 35 gallon Rubbermaid Action-Packer or something with similar dimensions. Where is the cheapest place to purchase these? A google search came back with Amazon.com as the cheapest at about 68 bucks. This is going to be my truckbed toolbox for when I have the canopy on. Anybody know of maybe another brand to look for? What are you using?

    Funny you should mention that. I went to Lowes right up the street from me and they didnt have anything close to an Action Packer!

    Check out Contico Tuff Bin containers. The prices are comparable to Action Packers. I got one as Class IX before a trip and that thing was bulletproof.

    Sportsman Warehouse has them.

    I'd consider something a little more heavy duty for tools though. My AP works well for camping stuff, but I don't think it would hold up long for anything much heavier than that.

    Odd you didn't find anything - I saw some boxes at Lowes/HD that would seem to work better as a toolbox.

    Yea, I thought Lowes would have something suitable... nope, only containers they had were Rubbermaid's clothing storage containers. They were even wimpier than the Action Packers. I'm thinking about getting this Contico Toolbox special ordered through Lowes website... what do ya think? Anyone using this one?
